Here is a friendly place to learn from other people walking the same path as you, called Charity Walks Network.
According to it’s founder, Roger Carr, “It’s a free social networking site for people who are passionate about charity walks.”
You can use the network to build friendships, find new ways to improve your walkathon, and help others.
See you there!
